June 2016
Be a people person, not just a desk jockey.
Mechanical Engineer:
Of course I could say to be a hard worker and hone your engineering skills, but that goes without saying. I think it's just as important to hone interpersonal skills so you will be able to network and learn from others within your own and other organizations you might interact with.
If you are brilliant and nobody else knows it, then you are not doing yourself any favors.
June 2016
Figure out your niche.
Mechanical Engineer:
The field of Mechanical Engineering is very broad. You can choose to be a "general practitioner" and not specialize in any area, but that might limit salary potential. Focused jobs seem to offer the higher pay, but you do risk limiting employment opportunities. But in the long run, if you're doing what you like and getting compensated for it, you will be happier.
June 2016
Make yourself more valuable.
Mechanical Engineer:
Make yourself more valuable to the company as soon as possible.
June 2016
Follow your passion and negotiate hard.
Mechanical Engineer:
No much else to say. Negotiate hard your first salary, since there are quite a few chances that it will not be raised in a long time...
But what it is important is to learn fast what is your passion, what job fuifills your life expectations. Probably you still don't know, its quite logic, but do not be afraid of changing company or even department within the same company.
